As a general surgeon, you take on some of the most complex, high-stakes cases in medicine. From emergency surgeries to routine procedures, your decisions directly impact your patients’ well-being. But surgical procedures, no matter how routine, come with risks. From errors in diagnosis to complications during surgery, even the most well-intentioned surgeons can find themselves facing malpractice claims.
In fact, in recent years, general surgeons are among the most sued physician specialties, with costs often exceeding $300,000 on average for a claim. That’s why having comprehensive general surgeon malpractice insurance is crucial to safeguarding your practice, your reputation, and your future.
With the right coverage, you can focus on what matters most — delivering exceptional patient care — while you protect yourself from the financial and legal fallout of potential claims.

Most medical malpractice policies are claims-made. Claims-made policies are popular because they tend to have lower initial premiums than occurrence coverage. If you’re concerned about claims that arise after the policy expires, you can buy an extended reporting period endorsement (commonly known as “tail coverage”).
Indigo provides coverage for physicians across the United States. However, since insurance is regulated on the state level, coverage may not be available in all states.
